CBS continues to report that the obviously forged Bush National Guard documents are real (they're not.) In the spirit of their fact-checking, I'd like to offer similarly true "facts":<br><br>-- Psychics are always true and accurate <br><br>--The check is in the mail<br><br>--"Social Security" will be there when you retire<br><br>--John Kerry isn't a liberal<br><br>--Al Gore won Florida<br><br>--The CIA or the mob killed John F. Kennedy<br><br>--UFOs regularly abduct residents of trailer parks<br><br><br>Thanks, Dan!<br><br><img src=http://images.usatoday.com/life/enter/tv/_photos/2001-10-17-dan-rather.jpg><br><br>

I didn't see the report. Is there a video anywhere?<br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003

Found the video, watched it.<br><br>I have to make a total reversal now, the documents are real. What outstanding CBS coverage and rebuttal. <br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003

The top two "new" things CBS introduced on tonight's report:<br>1. Typewriter repairman Bill Glennon tells use the the technologies existed in 1972. Of course he doesn't point to any one machine even with all the "special orders" that could produce ALL of the elements in question.<br><br>2. Unknown expert Richard Katz says the author used a lower case "l" in place of a "1" in at least one instance. This one is weird. Remember this is a "proportional" typewriter so it would definitely have separate keys for one and "ell". On any device that produces pseudo or real proportional type when you type and "l" the next character will jut right up next to it but if you type a "1" then the next character will be given plenty of space since numerals are never proportioned. From my laymen perspective when I look at the memos every-time I see what looks to be a "1" it appears the next character is always given the proper amount of space not jutting right up next to the "one"/"l".<br>If this is the strongest CBS has to offer as a counter, looks like CBS is in trouble.<br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003

CBS is in trouble? how so? if they never release anything more than copies and stuff and continue to fight for their side then my guess is that this case ends without any true resolution. in that case, nobody is hurt as CBS was already hated by the right.<br><br><br>--<br>one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -Plato

Even if one thinks CBS is left skewed you could still respect the reporting.<br>When I first heard CBS was reporting "Newly uncovered evidence shows Bush violated a direct order". I would go WOW! How is Bush going to answer this? Why because even thought I know CBS would spin the story to hit Bush hard I would have to believe the foundation of the story.<br>Not now, even the foundation has crumbled.<br>This is a case of willful neglect in trying to verify these documents just so they could produce an anti-Bush story.<br>So for people who don't care about the integrity of the media this story will have no impact.<br>Also, the only for reason CBS to never release anything more than copies is because they now know their fakes too.<br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003

dean, you've spent hours investigating this story. my take is that the vast majority of america will never reach your conclusions unless this story develops more, which is why i think it does little to harm anyone at this point.<br><br><br>--<br>one of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. -Plato

An excellent mainstream press article that hits all the major points on why these documents are fakes. They did an interview with who is thus far my favorite "expert" type disputing the memos, Newcomer.<br><br>http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn/A18982-2004Sep13?language=printer<br>Article compares CBS memos to other Killian memos of the same time.<br>Talks about the real issues with font, superscripts and such<br>Talks about the fact that these memos use formatting and abbreviations that are totally inconsistant with how things should have been done.<br>Talks about the factual problems with memos.<br><br><br><br>Dean Davis<br><br>-----<br>"I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein. And when the president made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." -- John Kerry (D) - May 3, 2003
